NYC Family Summer Fun Guide 2008
For many New Yorkers, as soon as the weather warms up, it signals a primordial urge to flee, but summer is one of the most fun times to be in New York. In the summer you can take advantage all the City has to offer — amazing beaches, gardens, pools, outdoor concerts and movies, events and activities. And much of it is completely free, turning New York in the summer into one big fest...and we don't mean a big "sweat-fest" — there's a million ways to stay cool and enjoy the summer in NYC with your family.
Whether you are visiting New York for the day, a week or hanging here with your kids for the whole summer, our Summer Fun Guide will tell you everything you need know to have an incredible summer right here in the city with the kids.
Be sure to check out our Free Fun Summer: A free activity a day for the entire summer!

The dates posted for the NYC
The dates posted for the NYC Summer Guide : free kids activities for every day is dated July 8th, 2007. My question is does all the activities happen on the same dates as posted even though it says 2007 instead of 2008. I am interested in many of these activities because I would like to take my two old to the out door activities.Where is Robin Museum of Art located? Many of the places for the activities has no directions posted. Would you please e-mail me the directions or a contact numbers, so I can attend the activities.These are the activities I am interesting in attending: July 11th,2008 Free Story Time Yoga at Karma Kids, July12th Elmo's World Wild Wild West, July15th Global Family Day.
